The elders shall be troubled, and pangs shall seize them, as of a woman in labor; and they shall mourn one to another, and shall be amazed, and shall change their countenance as a flame.

Therefore are my loins filled with feebleness, and pangs have seized me as a travailing woman; I dealt wrongfully that I might not hear; I hastened that I might not see.

Trembling took hold of them; there were the pangs as of a woman in travail.

For I have heard your groaning as the voice of a woman in travail, as of her that brings forth her first child; the voice of the daughter of Zion shall fail through weakness, and she shall lose the strength of her hands, [saying], Woe is me, for my soul faints because of the slain!

We have heard the report of them; our hands are weakened. Anguish has seized us, the pangs as of a woman in travail.

Ask, and see if a male has ever born a child? And [ask] concerning the fear, why they shall hold their loins, and [look for] safety; for I have seen every man, and his hands are on his loins; [their] faces are turned to paleness.

A woman, whenever she gives birth, has sorrow, because her hour has come; but whenever the child is born, she no longer remembers the anguish, on account of the joy that a human being has been born into the world.

For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, just as labor pains upon the woman that is pregnant, and they shall by no means escape.
